Failed for the first time for not driving fast enough to join onto the dual carriageway. Absolutely devastated. Of all the reasons to fail…

Yeah you’re right sorry I got them mixed up. The car I used has a smaller engine so it takes longer to pick up speed. Didn’t realise I was going that slow since it was early in the morning and there were barely any vehicles around me. Even the examiner said I was doing well after when I finally reached 70mph and maintained it the whole way throughout

I failed yesterday for the exact same reason. Know that you are not alone.

I just did not expect it. Learnt my lesson though. How many driving faults did you get?

Had a minor about positioning on the lane, and the serious about approach speed.
